We mention it in relation to the Equatorial companies. The line of the equator and the heat. Landing and marching.

The army marched, and the Arabs tried to prevent them from reaching their destination and attacked them. Then they attacked one of their flanks, broke through it, and plundered them, taking booty and loot. They captured the ammunition. The commander managed to restore order among the soldiers and their leaders, not paying attention to anything until he reached the water source, where he rested himself and his soldiers from the hardships of the journey.

The enemy gathered around him, so he attacked them at night, killing more than a thousand fighters and recovering all that they had taken from him during their attack on the road.

Among the regular commanders of the enemy, he killed Dathir Agha Al-Azraq and Saif Al-Nasr.

Agha, commander of the artillery, and one of the volunteer commanders. The total reached 1,500.

The incident of Al-Tayara is mentioned.

Al-Tayara is a commercial city located about 100 miles south of Al-Abyad, the capital of Kordofan. Merchants go there to sell gum, which is one of the products of the region.

It is located between Al-Abyad and the White Nile. Al-Tayara and its inhabitants are based in this region.

The two tribes of Al-Ma' and Al-Mawami' inhabit this region. The former is called "Baqara" because most of their cattle are of this type. The latter settles in villages and engages in agriculture and animal husbandry.

Both are known for their bravery and courage, like other tribes of Kordofan, and their customs are similar. They drink a lot of alcohol. Immorality is common among them, to the extent that a man sees his daughter, sister, and other female relatives engaging in immoral acts with indifference and without shame. The only thing that matters is that a woman commits adultery after marriage. It is considered a great shame for a woman to marry before giving birth to more than three sons, whom she then gives to her eldest brother to help him.
